Review on πŸ’‘ LEDMO Power Supply Transformer, LED Adapter - 12V, 5A Max, 60 Watt Max for LED Strip Lighting by Philip Lindsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

LEDMO power supply 12V, 5A failed after 3 months

This is a review for: LEDMO power supply, transformers,LED adapter, 12V, 5A Max, 60 Watt Max, for LED Strip (LEDMO SMD2835). It worked great for about 2.5 months, after which I noticed the LEDs gradually dimmed. After another two weeks they were very noticeably dark (compared to their original brightness). They stayed like that for another month (very weak), and then I measured the wire that powers the LEDs to check the current. It was 1.1 amps. I then powered the LEDs with my desktop power supply - set it to 12V and it drew 2.2 amps (in constant voltage mode) and lit the LEDs very well (very bright). This indicated that everything was fine with the LEDs, but the LEDMO power supply was out of order. As a final check I connected the LEDMO power supply to a network of resistors to see how much current I can draw from it. Maximum 1.3 amps. It is clear that something seems to have failed in the LEDMO power supply and it is no longer able to deliver the nominal 5A.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Problem
